'Through her courageous resistance, she has, for a moment, drawn
global attention to the ongoing struggle of Saudi women. The
striking image of a young woman, wielding nothing but a cellphone,
facing down the force of an oppressive government is an apt
metaphor for this fraught moment in Saudi Arabia's history.' THE
WASHINGTON POST A gripping true story of bravery and sacrifice by a
young woman whose escape from Saudi Arabia captivated the world. In
early 2019, after more than a year of careful planning, Rahaf
Mohammed boarded a plane and finally escaped from Saudi Arabia. If
caught, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women
who had tried to flee her country's oppressive regime. But the
eighteen-year-old only made it as far as Bangkok before her
passport was taken away. It was a trick, and soon she found herself
trapped, barricaded in a hotel room. As men pounded on her door,
the teenager decided to reach out to the world on Twitter - and the
world answered. Her account gained forty-five thousand followers
overnight and offered her a vital lifeline. This was Rahaf's chance
at a new life, the one she had dreamed of. Now Rahaf tells her
remarkable story for the first time and reveals the dystopian
reality of what life is like for women within Saudi Arabia. From
the guardianship system, which places unmarried women under the
full control of their male relatives, to the secretive online
underground network of Saudi runaways plotting their escape, Rebel
is a gripping memoir of resistance and bravery by a woman
determined to tell the truth about life in the closed kingdom.
